A bit of a drive, but my 5 year old and 2 year old loved the Chatham Fish Pier. There is a raised deck above the water, and if you stand on that, the commercial fishing boats stop just underneath you to unload their catch. Seals swim around the boats looking for a handout. I've been told that many boats unload their catch between 4 and 6 PM.
Also, my 5 year old and 2 year old loved the 2 hour lobster cruise we did. We did it out of P-Town, but I know there were guys who do it closer to the elbow. Me, my wife, and the 2 older kids loved the trip.
Also a bit of a drive, but First Encounter Beach in Eastham, at low tide, was amazing. Lots of sandbars and eposed tidal pools. The pools are full of crabs, shrimp, minnows for the kids to catch in nets. You can walk out half a mile, and the water is only ankle-deep, so no danger to the kids. Ice cream truck in the parking lot had delicious homemade ice cream.
Hope you have as much fun as we did.
